Democratic Sentinel, Volume 8, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 June 1884 — A Silence Sent For. [ARTICLE]

A Silence Sent For.

A golden-haired Silence put its head in at a door. “Did you send for me ?” “Of course I didn’t,” replied a man in a long apron. ; “A messenger boy said somebody along here wanted to see me.” “Well, ’twan’t me; I’m a barber. May be it was the merchant next door. I heard him say he was going to quit advertising. ” It is very funny, but as a general rule the waiter in a swell restaurent is about the only person about the premises who doesn’t wait for anything. The man who orders the chop does most of the waiting. A manufacturer of white-wine vinegar claims that his compound is so much better than the old-fashioned concoction that he has adopted the sign: “Who will care for mother now ?” The first woman settler of Cosmopolis, W. T., will get a premium of SIOO.
